    TA Sucks

    What I showed there is not "my edge". It is a 100% objective, open-range prices projection measure. If you, me and 998 other traders in here all apply the same grids to the same symbol on its first 5min bar of the pit session open every day, guess what? We all see exactly the same thing, to...

    TA Sucks

    All financial markets plot out their own daily roadmaps from the first few minutes of pit-session trading. Objective, statistical odds courses of action. The toughest part for anyone without exception? Believing what your lying eyes are telling you as price gradually unfolds thru the map...

    Who trades on satellite? Is the lag too bad?

    I don't think anyone would consider scalping with satellite either. Never suggested otherwise. "Prestage" orders... Assume that CL is trading 100.0 bid / 100.01 ask. Key resistance is 100.15 and key support is 99.92 zones. Depending on various factors, I'd be looking one direction only, or...

    Who trades on satellite? Is the lag too bad?

    I myself never enter any trades at the market. All of mine are prestaged for either pullbacks or breakouts (or both in stages) around key consolidation zones. So to me it doesn't matter if data is delayed fractions of a second, two seconds or anything in between. Also know some successful...

    Who trades on satellite? Is the lag too bad?

    the first qualifier question is, how to you place your entry orders? Do you wait for price movement to confirm something to your rules, then place an order that price must pull back into and/or break out thru? Or do you need to instantly click each order thru manually? that's the first thing...

    Who trades on satellite? Is the lag too bad?

    yes you can... it depends on your style of trades execution. If you prestage pullback and/or breakout orders ahead of price flow, reasonable "lag" doesn't matter. if you manually click in orders where each price tick is a matter of life or death to the trade, then that's different

    Who trades on satellite? Is the lag too bad?

    my CL entry-trigger chart is generally 100-tick or 200-volume settings... 1min is way too slow for that purpose.

    Who trades on satellite? Is the lag too bad?

    I use Dish satellite service, attached is the upload / download stream speeds. The only time service is interrupted would be heavy rains or electrical storms. I work with CL using automated -5 cent initial stops at the time of entry fill, seeking +20 cent to 50+ cents gains on the performing...

    Is day trading worth it?

    Hijacked exactly what? Nothing of value to traders, that's for damn sure. Let's make it easy on everyone and all agree: day trading is futile, a waste of time and money. Matter of fact, it can be equally said that ALL time lengths of trading are futile. Nobody can succeed, nobody can teach...

    Everything I ever posted in this thread was TST related. First of all, I never inferred the other guy was you specifically. There have been numerous negative posters in this thread over time. Odds of probability are that someone with only 5 posts and all of them negative in one thread is...

    like I said before, and before, and before, and before that... all I care about is the money side of TST. I know how to trade. A lot of other people do too. I happen to know a lot of people from my time spent working with traders who would like to participate with a real funded opportunity if...

    Everyone read all four of your total posts behind this new alias due to the fact that you are too embarrassed to keep rehashing the same crap thru the prior alias to this. Bottom line? You wasted four posts that simply piled on the same drivel as umpteen prior posts in this already too-long...

    Is day trading worth it?

    yes, yes... because $8m commercial real-estate deals are so easy for realtors to find here in 2014. Why not just sell one a month and make some real money? So easy.

    Is day trading worth it?

    it was highly tradable using -5 cent / -$50 stops hunting +30 to 50+ cent / +$300 to $500+ per contract gains... such as my version of the day attached. Whoever said it wasn't? other references made to bots involved trying to trade using -100 tick initial stops while holding for big trend...

    Is day trading worth it?

    Bots don't "interfere" with trades directly, they create abrupt, often explosive v-turn price moves in wide-range fashion. The solution to that market is definitely not trying to use mile-wide stops while holding for rare, directional trend moves.

    Is day trading worth it?

    a similar case of what? this poster stated in the C&L Thread that CL trade results so far for 2014 are negative, and multiple CL trade "calls" there using -100 cent initial stops have been hit.

    Is day trading worth it?

    you are directly competing with algo-bots in the CL which consistently hammer you out of -100 cent / -$1,000 per each CL contract in your trade calls here you might better concern yourself a whole lot more with bots than you currently do. By your own admission, your trading account tells you so.

    Is day trading worth it?

    lol! OK then, but why not do as I suggested and ask a 3rd party non-vendor like Lescor? Why not? Because his answer would fly in your face of purposely decided disbelief. Then where would you be, mentally and emotionally?

    Is day trading worth it?

    The overall "edge" is actually so simplistic, most of the failed traders here cannot possibly grasp how plainly simple the factors for "success" actually are. If laid out right in front of them as a trading plan, about all the failed traders would reply, "that's it? Nah... cannot be that simple...

    Is day trading worth it?

    You missed or purposely dismissed the assumption of "all things being equal" as the qualifier there. Tell Lescor he could as easily work his prior firefighter job for a "consistent" income these past seven - ten years instead of what he's made from trading. Send him that PM, and see what he...
